Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Cowboys walked out of the weekend still thin at wide receiver, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Clark steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every board in the league had Daniels lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The back end got a real overhaul.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sonny Styles in pick No. 26. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
They jumped the gun on Harold Perkins Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore in No. 112 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick150 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They paid sticker price for Davison Igbinosun in pick 150, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at Round 5, Pick 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
A conviction pick on Pat Coogan at slot 184 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
A reach on Jalon Daniels in the 221st overall pick; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Bud Clark
The board had Bud Clark higher than slot 225, and the safety fell to them anyway. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
